No recommended changes from co-facilitators. We anticipate the group continuing for another year.

Facilitators / Opportunities for leading projects

Julie and Ruth are the current co-facilitators. They are open to a replacement co-facilitator. Julie would likely rotate off.

Working Groups / Calls for Participation → there may be new things happening through conversation here at Samvera Connect. If you want to lead a project/working group, please let Julie and Ruth know. If you want to explore an issue, we’d be happy to have you bring it to a meeting.

The group has finished its work and submitted a report to to Steven Van Tuyl

Valkyrie has the best support for metadata ordering (San Diego? has done this in their IR, but it takes a lot of work and building a new model in Fedora. The method is essentially creating blank nodes which have a class indicating that they’re an ordered list of authors. But this requires creating objects for each list of authors.)

Valkyrie is likely to be the path forward.

Of note, Valkyrie won’t be storing things as native RDF, it will be JSON. This is something the group may which to tackle.

Batch import/export group demos are available, recorded by Greg.

There is a reporting out tomorrow at lunch.

There isn’t a real API for Hyrax at the moment, but there was a workshop on Hyrax API yesterday (Tuesday, October 9)
